In 2025, ZywOo continues to dominate with pinpoint accuracy and consistency. In this guide, we break down his full configuration across crosshair, video/graphics, mouse, viewmodel, HUD & launch settings — everything you need to replicate his setup (or use it as a baseline to tweak your own).
ZywOo’s setup is a great inspiration, but having a strong foundation is even more important. Our CS2 Beginner’s Guide walks you through the essentials — movement, shooting mechanics, economy, and settings — so you can get the most out of pro configurations like this one.

Who Is ZywOo?

ZywOo (real name Mathieu Herbaut) is a French professional Counter-Strike 2 player for Team Vitality, known for exceptional mechanics, game sense, and versatility (especially as an AWPer).
He has multiple HLTV Player of the Year awards and continues to stay at the top of the scene in CS2.
Because he blends both rifle and AWP play, his settings aim for a balance: enough sensitivity for flicks, but enough stability to control sprays.
ZywOo Mouse & Sensitivity

Here is ZywOo’s commonly reported mouse configuration in 2025:
Setting | Value |
---|---|
DPI | 400 |
In-Game Sensitivity | 2.0 |
eDPI | 800 |
Zoom Sensitivity | 1.0 |
Polling Rate (Hz) | 4000 Hz |
Windows Sensitivity | 6 |
Mouse hardware: ZywOo has used variants like the Pulsar Xlite V3 ES / “The Chosen” model in various listings.
Tip: Use Raw Input (On) in CS2 settings to bypass Windows mouse scaling, ensuring consistent sensitivity. (Though it’s not always explicitly mentioned in public configs, it’s standard for pro setups.)
Want to dial in your aim and visuals first? Before applying pro configs like ZywOo’s, get your core mouse DPI, sensitivity, and resolution settings locked in. Our CS2 DPI & Sensitivity Guide explains how to find what works for you.
ZywOo Crosshair Settings

ZywOo’s crosshair is clean, static, and designed for maximum visibility with minimal clutter. Here’s how he sets it up:
Setting | Value |
---|---|
Style | Classic Static |
Follow Recoil | No |

Length | 2 |
Thickness | 0.6 or 1 |
Gap | 3 |
Outline | Off (0) |
Alpha (Transparency) | ~200 |

Crosshair Code (2025)
You can import his current crosshair directly via code:
CSGO-oBiYV-Uj7vE-UQcpn-xxUN4-ZRivN
This is a circulating pro crosshair entry for ZywOo.
In short, it is a small gap, thin lines, no dot, bright color, and no outline.

4. Viewmodel & HUD

Here are ZywOo’s typical viewmodel / HUD values in CS2:
Parameter | Value |
---|---|
Viewmodel FOV | 68 |
Offset X | 2.5 |
Offset Y | 0 |
Offset Z | -1.5 |
Preset Position | 2 |
He tends to stick to a fairly centered, slightly lowered weapon position so it does not obstruct the center screen.
HUD / Radar

While there is less consistency in publicly reported HUD or radar setups, common practices in his general config include:
- Radar zoom (map zoom) ~0.7
- HUD scale/size default or slightly minimized (for clean view)
- Teammate colored outlines enabled
- Standard keybinds for utility, buy binds, etc.
Many sources mention that his HUD and radar are relatively standard, relying more on clarity than over-customization.

GPU / Driver Tweaks

- Use performance mode, disable V-Sync and motion smoothing, enable low latency / reduce buffering in the GPU driver
- Keep GPU drivers up-to-date, and disable background tasks that might introduce input lag.
How to Adapt ZywOo Setup for You
Copying a pro’s settings is smart, but here are tips to make them work for your preferences and hardware:
- Start with sensitivity (DPI + in-game): ZywOo’s eDPI is 800. If that feels too fast or too slow, scale proportionally (e.g. use 300 DPI + 2.67 sens).
- Maintain consistent aspect ratio & resolution: If your screen is 16:9 and you prefer it, stick with it — only switch if you’re confident.
- Gradual change: Don’t change everything at once. Try crosshair first, then video, then sensitivity tweaks over days.
- Balance performance and visibility: If your PC can’t handle “High” models & shaders smoothly, drop some quality settings while keeping contrast/visibility tweaks.
- Practice with it: It often takes days or weeks to feel “natural” with new settings. Play deathmatch, aim trainers, or warmups.
- Monitor your results: If your accuracy / aiming becomes worse, revert or adjust rather than forcing yourself to play the pro setup.
